2 years ago, Konami released "Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin". While the game was well regarded by chritics, the fans shunned it due to its non-memorable characters(dracula in a beach shirt :P) and its crappy diologue. Not to mention that Jonathan was like his father, a belmont wannabe. However, Jonny's father was acually cool while this young guy was a whiny emo kid. This game made us wonder, why can't Konami release another CV game as big as Symphony of the Night? Will there be any more CV outings on the DS? Will they lose the crappy anime art style(not that i hated Dawn of Sorrows, Portrait of Ruin's was just bad and didn't fit the atmosphere). All our questions will possibly be answered in the upcoming Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia!

Old style CV character art=greatness

I don't know what it is, but the environments seem to bring some graphical flare.

The bosses for the most part will be brand new. I like this one, it reminds me of the last boss from "Super C". I love nastolgia!

Item crashes return in this installment. Its not everyday you see a character weilding a screen-filling sword in CV!
Story: This game will take place a couple of years after the events of SotN. The Belmonts have temporaroly dissapeared and Dracula has returned to unleash hell upon the world. A rebel group called "The Order Of Ecclesia" steps up to defeat the count using one of their most powerful weapons. A vampire hunter named Shanoa is that weapon, and she must travel all around transilvania to stop the count once and for all.
Features:
-World Map system that can take you to over 20 locales in transilvania, much like Simon's Quest but with more depth. Konami also boasts that the game will be as big as SotN, I wonder if they can pull that off!
-Old and new enemies will appear.
-The new "Glyph" system allows Shanoa to use magical items called "Glyphs" and transform them into weapons to be used in either her left hand or right hand bringing back the dual weapon system from SotN.
-All new bosses in the game, bigger than ever before(so konami claims).
-Awesome soundtrack.
-No more anime style characters!
-3rd time in castlevania history that a female is a main protagonist.
-Wi-fi will be used with online shops and an entirely new feature too. The new feature is the ability to do combat with others, much like a death match.
Its odvious that Konami is really putting their all on this title and it will be released this fall, but i wouldn't be suprised if they delayed it.
